  1. Republicans in ruin

  2. What "progressive" agendas are you thinking of there?

  3.  @Danielson1818  My original interpretation was that you wanted to sacrifice LGBTQ rights and abortion rights and racial justice for some sort of "unity", so I thought I'd give you a chance to clarify what you meant. Given your hostility toward the question, I'm guessing that's exactly what you meant. First of all, I don't think those things are opposed to the concept of treating people with dignity. If anything, those are part of the solution. Secondly, I don't see how those are threatening Democratic unity, other than your own individual commitment to the party. Abortion was one of the main drivers of Democratic turnout in 2022. It won everywhere it was directly on the ballot, even in Kentucky. Democratic voters widely support BLM. Democratic voters widely support LGBTQ rights. Think back to early 2020 when Democrats were divided. What was the divide over? Universal healthcare, tax rates, income inequality, and the role of the welfare state. Economic stuff. Would I like the Democratic party to be more economically progressive? Absolutely. But if your main goal is party unity, it's hard to argue that what they're doing now isn't working.

  4.  @Danielson1818  Ugh, spare me the self-righteousness. You're the one who came into this Republican mockery thread and tried to start beef with progressives, and then you couldn't handle it when someone actually pushed back.

  5. Given how well it worked in 2022, I wouldn't be opposed. Just make sure they're in districts Democrats can actually win.

  6. Give them a bunch of tax cuts? Right wing populism is just empty rhetoric. Look at the bills they pass. They're the exact same bills that corporate Republicans pass.

  7. He wants to be Speaker, for the sake of being Speaker. That's all it is.

  8. No deadline. They literally can't do anything else until a Speaker is chosen.

  9. Jim Jordan has 20 votes on the 3rd ballot already. They are falling apart lol.

  10. I think Brian Fitzpatrick would be a reasonable pick. Hopefully Dems throw his name (or a different moderate) into the mix and try to pull a few Republicans over to make a majority. That seems very doable.

  11. What policies, views, and directions do the Never Kevin people disagree with Kevin on?

  12. Yes, please send all your halfway decent people to the Democrats. We'd never lose a race again.

  13. Please, MAGA hates like 70% of the American people for one reason or another. And yes, as the people with much fewer votes, the Never Kevin crowd are the ones being stubborn and unreasonable. But I welcome them to keep fighting the "good" fight, because the last thing we need is Republicans actually governing. I hope this rips the entire party in half.

  14. That's the Oath Keeper guy lol. Crenshaw lost his eye during military service like a normal person.

  15. He's independent in the sense that he isn't funded by some media conglomerate. But no, obviously this channel isn't centrist. It's a commentary channel that espouses social democratic views. If you don't want bias, go read the AP.
